I’ve long maintained that HTC is the only Android phone maker that actually cares about design. Part of it is because they cop quite a lot from Apple (I guess they’re trying to get their money’s worth), but there are some genuinely clever ideas here. The “Blink” home screen feed is a very clever take on what a home screen can be, and the “Zoe” camera mode.1

It’s a fairly massive phone, but it’s the best Android phone you will be able to buy. Probably.

Short for zoetrope, presumably, and not to be confused with her, or them, or this. ↩︎
